Question, my father passed away recently and we finally convinced mymother to move to europe. Problem is, her 16yr old chihuahua is not up to date on his rabies vaccine. And the 21 day window is not enough time for us. What can i do? I am stressing about this alot. Would i be able to pay a vet to back date the vaccine? I know its not legal but i am desperate now.......

This is Lori. I'm wondering what you used for manufacturer and lot number for your rabies certificate as mine are long outdated. Now my dogs are older and one is having dental work done and is required to have an updated rabies shot. Thanks for any help!

Hello Doctor,
I have to drive through Canada from Alaska to pick up my Mom in Colorado. I must bring my chocolate lab who is 13. He has had bad reations to medications in the past. He is doing so well now, but with is advanced age, I do not want to risk it with the rabbies vaccine. Do you know of any way to pass through Canada's borders without risking my dogs health with the rabbies vaccine. Do you know of any dogs getting through with a rabbies titer? Help!

Hi,

My name is Natalia and I have a 2½ year old yellow lab/whippet mix named Ginger. Just last week I took her to the vet for a check up but I was not allowed in the facility because of the COVID-19 pandemic precautions. I looked through a window from the outside and received a phone call from the Vet. She asked me if I wanted for her to administer a rabies vaccine to Ginger because there was nothing in her chart. I said "no". I was not in the room and I could not see everything the Vet was doing. There was a moment that Ginger was out of the room after the phone call. I am worried that the Vet gave her the vaccine anyway against my wishes. Would the Vet do that? Alzo, do vaccines ware off? She seems to have some type of seizure when she sleeps and, although it has gotten better than when she was a puppy, I hope it goes away completely. I blame the vaccine for the seizure like manifestation. I live in Pennsylvania (added information). Please help.

Thank you,
Natalia

I took my cat to a new vet to get his butt shaved and for a general check up due to being a bit on the heavy side. She pushed the distemper on him even though I didn't want it. Merial I believe is the manufacturer.....my seven cats are strictly indoors they enjoy a happy healthy spoiled life no risk of diseases or rabies. But it didn't matter I said no they went ahead and gave it to him along with the rabies shot ....a few days later he acted letargic, feverish and stopped eating and drinking. I called the vet and they said it was impossible for the rabies to cause that reaction that usually it happens within hours not days. Roofie ended up in ER for four nights and after several days with fever which I thought it could mean his body was fighting a mild side effect. ER could not find the cause for the fever and it was labeled unknown origin all his blood work was perfect and he is a super healthy cat. Took him home and fever spiked up again . Called main vet and they kept insisting is something else. Took my cat to a different ER vet place that was more expensive than the prior one but the facilities were better to keep him overnight. After 3800 dollars and negative results for every possible virus or bacteria on this planet ... finally the ER vets had to agreed that it was an allergic reaction to the distemper vaccine. I kept telling them from the beggining that it was one of the shots they kept saying that's a REMOTE possiblity because the risks outweighs the benefits of the vaccines....so I guess my poor cat had 106.7 fever for days that could have killed him or cause severe neurological issues and these Vets think they are right. It's all about the money they don't care about the real facts. I will never ever let a vet put any vaccines on my cats. No one took responsibility for this faulty vaccine and manufacturer aren't liable for anything.... Greedy world we live in

What, are you people mad? My dog was bit by a squirrel I had no idea had rabies AFTER I decided not to vaccinate her and she is gone. It’s like these families that don’t vaccinate their kids! Don’t believe everything you read!!

In 2004 I had a perfectly health 10 year old Rottweiler/Doberman mix that was a therapy dog for a local Nursing Home/Assisted Living/ALZ unit. He was bitten twice by a Brown Recluse Spider. His surgery opening was 36” long. It took me over 6 months to close the wound completely and finish all the antibiotics before he could return to the Nursing Home. Normally a dog wouldn’t survive a spider bite as severe as his. But his size (100lbs.) and excellent health were on his side. By that time he was due for his Rabies vaccine. Within 24 hours of receiving the vaccine he had spiked a 106 degree temperature and went into a 4 minute long Grand Mal seizure. He started vomiting and refused to eat. The next day his liver panel showed his liver had shut down and he was euthanized. I was devastated. I started researching spider bites and discovered that their venom never dissipates once you have been bitten. And it can erupt in your system again at any time. The Rabies vaccine triggered this eruption. This event educated me on vaccines and their over use as well. I’ve been an advocate ever since. I later adopted another dog (medium size terrier mix) for therapy for the Nursing Home. I was obligated to get his Rabies vaccine to fulfill my adoption contract. We still had a 1 year Rabies policy at that time. When he was due for all his vaccines again per state nursing home laws, I stopped taking him. And he never received another vaccine of any kind except for one Rabies vaccine in 2016. He lived to be 17-18 years old. No Cancer or vaccine related diseases. And he passed with all his teeth firmly intact.

Dr Falconer,
I live in CA and my puppies are 5 months old today. I need to get them fixed and I am dreading going because they require rabies shots. I fostered then adopted these two sick parvovirus puppies at 7 1/2 weeks old from FOAC ( friends of the animal community) and because they were so comprisimized and lost their two siblings to this disease I am scared of what the rabies vaccine might do to them. Any suggestions?
Brenda

I did had Silver Persian 4 y.o. cat who got cancer from rabies vaccination and it was very sad experience which could be avoided bc he was indoor only cat but he got multiple rabies vaccinations, which were unnecessary. Cats are also much more susceptible to cancer from rabies vaccinations than dogs. I do also think that vaccinations that animals were given back in the day differ from the ones they get today and I wonder if they are worse now. I'm interested in one time only vaccine for felines as well.

My little 3 1/2 pound poodle had over 30 seizures and a stroke after receiving a rabies vaccine. He was paralyzed on one side and unable to walk for over a month, he slowly recovered but he will never receive another vaccine ever. Period. Law or not.

I have 3 standard poodles.Two have Addison's,one is a senior.I have stopped vaccinating them for over 3 years now,but the rabies has been due. Since I've been taking one in for testing quite a bit lately the rabies shot has been brought up. Since I was in for other things I just said "let's focus on...today." Obviously I cannot have these dogs vaccinated and I have a feeling my vet knows this deep down because she hasn't pushed. I hope I'm right.

I live in Katy, Texas (near Houston, TX) and I have looked at many Texas Hollistic/Homeopathic Veterinarian Lists on this site as well on The Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy (which I joined) and they all list some homeopathic vets. However, some corrections need to be made to these lists: Patricia A. Cooper is no longer at 1136 Heights, Houston, TX and I am still trying to find her. Took a trip to her location on Heights because the phone number says number no longer in service. Talked to her neighbor and she moved from there seven years ago.
Another one on the list for the Houston area is a Dr. Cory Stiles/Tanglewilde Vet Clinic. Called there and found out she sold that clinic to another Vet in 2013 and she retired...the current VET who now owns the clinic is not homeopathic and does not even treat for vaccinosis. She doesn't even believe there is such a thing! So, I am still trying to find a homeopathic vet because I have two vaccine-injured dogs.
I have been reading this website for a week or so and joined the Vital Animal Pack to get the articles and I will most probably take some courses since there is such a shortage of homeopathic vets. We definitely DO have to self educate in this matter for the lives and well being of our fur babies.
Dr. Falconer, please update the list on your website and remove both Dr. Cooper and Dr. Stiles. I saw in the Winter 2016 AVH Journal that there were 16-17 graduates of The Pitcairn Institute (and, yes he has the same erroneous list). So, I am hoping that due to so many sick dogs from over-vaccination that the homeopathic vet industry will start booming !
In the meantime, Dr. Falconer, may I send you via the Contact form here some questions I have for my two dogs. I stopped vaccinating them in 2013 but they both have had the itchies and scratchies, chewing on paws, shaking the head, etc.... all the symptoms of vaccinosis. I just started them on 4Life Transfer Factor 3 days ago and I have been raw feeding now for six months, but I want to find out if Thuja will help better. I did find Thuja on a website...Newton Homeopathics Thuja for Dogs & Cats... Thanks.

Vet schools seem to be bankrolled by big pharmaceutical companies.Most vets take their word as gospel.Thank goodness that a few vets look outside the box and realise what some of these meds are doing to Pets. l
